Powerful Small Wood Cutting Saw
Rating: 5
The Porter Cable heavy duty magnesium shoe circular saw is light- weight, weighing less than 10 pounds. It is an effective saw for DIY wood cutting projects.
It has double handles that are sturdy, durable, and provide a solid grip while using. The saw comes with a blade, and it is easy to add and remove. This saw comes with a long power cord; however, we choose to use an extension cord for our projects.
There is a little play with the magnesium shoe when cutting lines, but this is not a deal breaker.

Gold standard saw

What a STOUT tool! Great power, HUGE shoe (aka bottom plate) that gives you ample flat surface area to stay on your piece, heavy so it stays planted but doesn't "feel" heavy when you're cutting, just all around an awesome tool. The blade tool has a place on the saw itself so it's right there when you need it. Tool-less height and angle adjustment (and goes past 45 degrees!) and get this; no safety lockout on the trigger. So easy to use, cuts through wood like a hot knife through butter, and with the weight it has it virtually eliminates kick-back. Spend your money on a great tool (that also you can get parts for like this one) and you'll never regret it!

So excited to work with my first circular saw. I do a LOT of DIY but have only worked with a jig saw so far. I've been nervous to work with a circular saw but I'm scheduled to volunteer in the construction of a Habitat for Humanity home in the spring and want to be familiar with, and have access to my own standard equipment. I've also been itching to try a lot of projects I see online, but so far have lacked the tool power. This saw is weighty and feels solid in my hands. The only thing I don't like about it is the key storage. I removed it because it was a distraction and found it a permanent tool box drawer where it won't get lost. Santa is bringing me a saw bench, so in the meantime I tried a few cuts on my neighbor's bench in his garage. His saw (diff brand) did not feel as substantial to me. Maybe just because the blade was newer, but he seemed to prefer this saw more than his own. I spent the time to read the whole product guide carefully and and am still learning, but I feel very comfortable with the mechanics. I'm so over being nervous and super excited to start some projects!

I'm happy I got ti am very impressed with this power saw. Works just as well as a known name brand. I really like the magnesium blade as it gives a nice smooth cut. Can't wait to do more projects around the house.

I finally got a real circular saw not some plastic toy like the skil crap I made the mistake of purchasing. This saw is perfectly built in both built material and performance. What great deal for this great tool.

Disappointing performance

I was very disappointed with this saw. I was attracted to it because of the magnesium shoe as opposed to the steel shoe. However, the saw does not cut straight! I've used a straight edge as a guide and still do not get a completely straight cut, even with a good Freud blade. My guess is the arbor has too much wiggle in it or the shoe and the blade are not perfectly parallel.
